Intro

Cougar may be a brand familiar to Europeans but North American gamers may not have heard of this company and the products they offer. The new Cougar Challenger mid tower case definitely shows a distinct personality which makes it standout compared to other mid tower cases.

The case’s bold styling really makes it stand out, the front cover in particular has an aggressive design that would feel equally at home as the front of a starship or as a character in a Transformer movie. The materials, design and build quality are excellent and it is apparent that a lot of thought went into the design and manufacturing of this case.

This case is packed with all the features you would expect in a mid tower gaming case like great cooling with a built in 200mm fan, a top mounted SATA hot swap bay, top panel USB 3.0, a side window, good cable management and easy to use tool-less drive bays. The case itself is black with front panel detailing available in three different colors; black, grey and orange.

If you are looking for a quality case that will make your rig standout then the Cougar Challenger is something you might want to consider. Today we will review it to help you make that decision.

Let’s learn a little more about the manufacturer and see if this case has all the features you would want for your next build.

COUGAR is particularly targeting enthusiast gamers who not only demand state-of-the-art PC chassis and highly efficient power supplies, but also want to express their dynamic gaming life style with reliable quality products.

COUGAR therefore wants to provide these enthusiasts with best-in-class innovative and cutting-edge gaming products. COUGAR was founded in 2007 by a group of enthusiastic and professional people in Germany who felt PC hardware had changed very little over the past 20 years, most cases and PSU models remaining rectangular boxes, having the same boring looks and an internal layout with endlessly uncreative cosmetic variations and poor quality. Therefore, COUGAR wanted to provide gamers more stylish product concepts meeting strictest quality requirements. Now, COUGAR has developed into a global brand manufacturer bringing innovative, high-performance and high-quality components to the PC gaming market.

I have this case for my build, and everything worked excellently, except i have a few cons to point out from my experience:

-Cable management is a bit tough
-The bottom magnetic filter was bent slightly, so it was unable to attach all the way (a little disappointing, but ok).
-I wished there was more color options. I opted for black, because orange and white just didn’t look attractive to me. After i bought the case, i ended up modifying it by covering the side panels and front panel (the colored “aggressive” sections) with blue carbon fiber vinyl. I also added blue fans and leds. Cant you tell i like blue?

All in all its a great case, has great potential, and fits all my parts. Heres my build
